You survived a stroke, but now you’re dealing with the painful uncertainty, anxiety and depression left in its wake. You’re ready to take control and take back your mental health—you just need a little help.

You never had this level of anxiety or depression before, but your stroke changed everything. That was my story, too. Until I reached my breaking point and had to get help.
A host of new fears emerged that you never had to deal with before—
the fear of not being able to recover, losing your career, your independence, and not being able to look after your family.
You panic about having another stroke and just the thought of it causes agitation, overthinking, and many restless nights.
Some days, you feel overwhelmed with anger and frustration that you cannot do the things you previously took for granted, and the support you need is sometimes hard to find.
However, the solutions are within reach. By tracking your mood and keenly identifying your triggers, 
you can stop panic, anxiety, and depression from interfering with your journey back to a fulfilling life.
Consider this book a guide that will provide you with key steps for taking control of anxiety, stress, and depression… so you can once again be the captain of your own ship of thoughts and emotions. Inside, you will discover:

  • The physical, emotional, and cognitive challenges you may face as a stroke survivor – and some powerful tools for identifying the situations that set you off
  • Physical rehab — from strength exercises to key home recommendations — and why it is vital for speeding up the recovery process
  • Powerful cognitive strategies, plus brain exercises you can do at home
  • Post-stroke anxiety: symptoms, therapeutic approaches, and what to do when panic strikes “out of nowhere”
  • Post-stroke depression: gold standard therapies and DIY therapies to embrace to stay positive and present
  • Additional therapies for quelling the symptoms of anxiety and depression, including CBD, supplements, and natural therapies
  • Vital advice for carers – what they need to know about stroke recovery, what makes a good caregiver, and why self-care is a lifeline to avoid burnout


And so much more.
If you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed after a stroke, know that you are not alone. I’ve walked in your shoes
A stroke affects you physically, mentally, and emotionally – but that doesn’t mean you have to be a passive observer against anxiety and depression.

Discover how to navigate job and career loss, recover from the emotional fallout and potential identity crisis, find your true purpose, and learn how to thrive again.

Are sleepless nights and negative thoughts suffocating your dreams and aspirations because you lost your job or career?
Do you find yourself replaying past mistakes and missed opportunities on an endless loop, 
tormenting yourself with “what ifs” and “should haves?”
You are not alone in your struggles. About half of us will face the financial and emotional challenges of losing our jobs sometime in our working lives.
But allowing yourself to remain trapped in a cycle of despair will hold you back from making new beginnings.
Even worse, as you sink deeper into the emotional fallout of losing your job or career, your chances of making a fresh start lessen.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
You can recover from your loss of self and regain control of your mental health. You can find comfort and resilience in the face of setbacks.
Of course, breaking free from the emotional and mental turmoil doesn’t happen in an instant.
It’s a journey where you will rediscover your self-worth and recognize you can turn a setback into an opportunity to be stronger and happier than you were before.
In this book, you will discover:

  • The author’s personal stories, including the tips and tools she discovered on her journey to recovery that will inspire you, even if you feel hopeless right now
  • Stories from people who faced identity crises after losing their jobs unexpectedly
  • Why your identity is wrapped up in your career and how you can be your authentic self and truly realize you are more than what you do for a living
  • How to find your purpose and recognize job opportunities that align with your values and beliefs
  • The power of reframing your narrative to turn negative experiences into positive ones, even if you’ve been stuck in a self-critical mindset for years
  • The emotional journey of self-discovery and how to embrace your vulnerabilities and face life’s ups and downs with resilience and acceptance
  • Why you shouldn’t do this alone – counseling, therapy, or a supportive network of friends and family is essential to recover from the emotional fallout of job or career loss

And much more.

Even though your experience is unique and complex, the real-life story of the author, and others, will give you a roadmap for your own personal journey of self-discovery.
Losing your job isn’t a personal failure that means you’re not good enough – you have unique skills, talents, and potential that go beyond an employment setback.
Embrace this opportunity to redefine your path, learn from the experience, and unleash your true potential.
